Niagara + NYC 2

We got lucky the first day at Niagara Falls... the sun shone perfectly to cast a breathtaking rainbow right across the water. Back in NYC, walked the Brooklyn Bridge in overcast foggy weather (pic w/ my mommy), oohed and aahed over a crochet covered bike, had incredibly delicious Grimaldi pizza w/ extra garlic, and my sister's creatively decorated new york apartment window.

Went to visit one of my dear sisters in nyc. Had a date with Shake Shack at midnight, traversed the day-like Times Square when clearly past 9:00pm, had my fill of macaroons at Bouchon, and couldn't resist the bathroom door while grabbing Rice to Riches. Fun but humid. Can't wait to go back. Photos from our 2-day adventure to Canada to see Niagara Falls to come!

For Shoes

Penelope and Coco Shoes www.myfacehunter.com

Intrigued at how fabulous these lookbook editorials are. All in the name of great shoes. But seriously, more than the shoes, I am completely impressed by the styling, modeling, and photography.
Last final tomorrow~ Then taking on NYC. whoop!

Brights

The random weather in LA has left me constantly unsure about which portion of my closet I need to consider when getting dressed. Rainy one moment, sunny the next, gusts of wind in between. Shoes are a more confusing ordeal. Thus, pulled out a scarf I havent worn in a while with a rather forgotten neon tank. I can't believe I'll be done with the school year... as soon as I finish up my last two finals. Then off the NYC! I'm just completely bummed that weather.com shows no prospect of any sun while I'm there. All rain and t-showers. I'll have to adjust my plans for continuous ambling. After studying, went to My House in Hollywood for a graduation party. Good times. Congrats Jess!

Student + Dying = Studying

LF Stores zippered skinny jeans | F21 buttoned tank | shoes from Korea

Looking rather peppy despite it being finals time. My apologies for those who have heard enough complaining on a rather personally bleak and oppressive state...aka cram studying. Can't get enough of all the flowers quickly in bloom. One of my mom's many hobbies, recently, has been gardening... which has made me more aware of plants, flowers, weeds, and nature in general. More so in regards to other people's yards. Not so much with random alleys like this.

I'm Over It

Zara floral blazer | Cotton On striped skirt | Gap tank | Kenneth Cole studded ankle boots

In the midst of experiencing one of the most extreme cases of ADD, there was lots of time for day-dreaming/random thoughts. I'm in desperate need of a manicure and I spent close to an hour trying to figure out if one of my piercings had completely closed up over the span of the past year. Which also led me to think about how much, if at all, I've grown over the past few years. Being a student toys with my brain sometimes. I feel like I should be able to get away with various things, with the thought of "I'm still a student" but at the same time, realizing how quickly my studying days will come to an end. I vaguely remember that I was hoping to also use my blog as a means to address various current events, issues, and topics that concern society, culture, etc. I have no idea what happened to that. Anyway, I feel I've typed some sort of stream-of-consciousness nonsense just to avoid studying. I'm so ready for finals to be over so I can go to NYC. Why does it seem so far in the future?  Despite all that's been said, I think my pictures look way more carefree and happy than they should. Haha. Figures.

Can't Concentrate

Zara diy shorts | Top from Korea | F21 shoes | DVF sunglasses | Nails Revlon "Minted" | Lips Covergirl "Embrace"

I can't study...or concentrate. And it is clearly driving me nuts and causing ample time to be wasted. Anyway, decided to sit out for a while during a study break. Planning on going to Camilo's California Bistro for Mother's Day brunch. So excited. The menu looks absolutely delish and apparently the coffee is out of this world, according to Yelp. Happy Mother's Day!

Washed Out

AE distressed shorts | suspender tee and shoes from Korea | Juicy Couture sunglasses

Usually I'm drawn to offsetting a lighter color with darker one. But for some reason, I felt like the gray t-shirt somehow complimented the bleached out shorts. These shoes... dreamy. One of my most excitedly received gifts from Korea. Channeling Pierre Hardy. On a sidenote: I hate that the weather is sooo extremely sunny and warm in southern California... yet.. I'm guiltily obliged to study for finals. But I'm guessing I'm not the only one on this boat.

Blunt

Primark t-shirt | UO shorts | Kenneth Cole studded ankle boots | bangs

Ambled around "Work After Work" which mostly involved chatting with friends, drinking wine, and eating loads of cheese and crackers...and of course looking at the art. Experimented with bangs for the night. Still don't know how I feel about them (they're not real). Then went to grab semi-late night burgers at Olympic Burger which tasted so good I didn't even have time to feel guilty. Gotta love their selection of old school arcade machines and the random aardvark that is propped up on an equally random shelf.
